The Technicolor Phase

Part 35-When Fire & Ice Collide

[Adam's POV]

I woke up coughing and my eyes burning. I also smelled smoke. A light shone on my face and a person shouted

"We found him!"

Found him? What does that mean? I tried to sit up but I couldn't feel my legs or arms. I started screaming when one of the firefighters removed something heavy off my arms and legs. The excruciating amount of pain made me lightheaded and not able to focus. One of the people gently lifted me up and told me I would be okay. I started crying. Suddenly, I got cold. Are we outside? I heard sirens and people talking, I recognized as two of them as my parents. I didn't know how bad I looked. My eyes focused on Mom and Dad, they had terrified looks on their faces. Mom glared at me as soon as I passed. I was put on a stretcher and I caught a quick glimpse of the house before I was put in the ambulance. The part of the house that I was in was collapsed, the rest wasn't that damaged. Someone wants me dead! One of the paramedics turned my head so it was facing them. She had long curly brown hair and brown eyes. She reminded me of Anna. Memories started flooding back, about how her house caught on fire once. No one was hurt, she was ten, I was twelve. I remember getting woken up in the middle of the night by Mom. She made me put on a robe over my pajamas and shoes. Then we rushed out of the house, and I saw Anna's house was in ruins. I was brought back to reality when someone touched my right arm. I screamed out in pain. I realized I was on a cold surface in a room with bright lights. Doctors with masks on approached me with needles and other things. I felt a prick in my neck. Then I blacked out.

"Ahhhh!!!" I yelled as my eyes flew opened. I started freaking out about the dream that I had. It was about me being in a fire at AnnaBeth's house and my arms and legs hurting. My eyes saw my legs and arms. They had stitches and whatnot in them. A nurse came in and explained what happened, I started crying. She explained that I would have to have one more surgery. I asked them when it would happen and I explained that I have a tour coming up in five days. The nurse said she already contacted my manager and that he canceled it. I also asked how Anna is doing. She looked at me with sad eyes.

"She's dying Mr. Young. I'm sorry," She said while checking my arms and legs.

"So what's gonna happen to me?"

The nurse sighed, stopped and looked at me and frowned.

"We're gonna have to amputate an arm or a leg or....." Her voice trailed off

"Or both" I finished in a whisper.

The nurse nodded her head sadly.

"Is that why I'm having another surgery?"

"Yeah. Mr. Young we could contact your parents-"

"NO!" I shouted at her, she stared at me, "I'm sorry. No please don't. A few days ago we had a fight. I told them that I hated them. They gave me the cold shoulder when I was put on the stretcher." I told her

She smiled at me. Then she frowned.

"If we don't talk to them we'll have to amputate an arm and a leg. Oh wait we just have to amputate a leg," she looked at me then blushed, "I'm sorry if I scared you Mr. Young. We have to do your left leg. The rest of your limbs are fine. Um, I better go."

The nurse hurried out and closed the door. What time is it? My eyes fixed on the clock. The LED lights blinked 9pm. My eyes grew wide, it's nine o'clock already?! I sighed and thought about Anna. Tiredness swept over me. My eye lids closed while I was thinking about Anna and what we would do when this stuff would be over and if she gets better.

"Goodnight, Anna." I whispered half asleep.
